Alumni = credibility 


S tanstead College’s Annual Gener- 
al Meeting always coincides with 
Homecoming. It’s kind of a two- 
for-one deal since a majority of our trust- 
ees and board members are also alum- 
ni, happy to do their bit to help run the 
school. 

As former board chairman Joseph 
Levy (1971) used to tell our graduating 
students, no one owns Stanstead Col- 
lege, but if someone did, it would be the 
alumni. And our alumni lay claim to that 
ownership by being actively involved 
and working for their school. 

(Incidentally, Joseph happens to be 
one of those active alumni, and you can 
read all about his involvement on page 
23 of this issue.) 



Here are just a few examples of alumni 
working on the College’s behalf: 

Akiko Fujimoto Watanabe (1993) is 
a tmstee and spoke at our Baccalaureate 
service two years ago. Most recently she 
has been working with one of our Japa- 
nese students to help her apply to nursing 
schools in Canada. 

Michael Peirce (1973) is an alumnus, 
a former teacher, retired head of Apple- 
by College, a trustee and always ready to 
lend us a hand. Most recently, he’s been 
showing us ways our University Guid- 
ance office can function better globally. 

Napat Phisanbut (1998) has been 
our ambassador in Thailand for several 
years, manning booths at school fairs 
and liaising with Thai families. This 
past fall, she lent her support here in 
Stanstead during the golf tournament. 


Rebecca Nienkamper 

(1983) served on the board 
and remains a tmstee. This 
past October, she and her hus- 
band Blaise Hayward opened 
their home in New York to 
host an Admissions event for 
friends and parents interested 
in Stanstead College. 

Paul Chiu (2006) is a brand 
new tmstee and has been 
working with Admissions and 
actively promoting the school 
in Taipei. 

George Diamandopou- 

los (1994) has been a tmstee 
for several years and helps 
organize our annual Mexico 
Reunion - our best-attended l 
gathering of the year. 

Young Joon Oh (2000) has been as- 
sisting our Admissions Department in 
South Korea. 

Charles Seagram (1992) is a new 
board member and a Young Alumni 
Award recipient for his active involve- 
ment in all matters Stanstead, in particu- 
lar the annual Golf Tournament. 

I could go on. It’s great to see our for- 
mer students giving so readily to their 
school. What’s more, this kind of sup- 
port is incredibly invaluable in terms 
of providing us credibility in the very 
tough global marketplace. Our alumni 
become our school’s spokespeople - 
sometimes quite literally, especially in 
non-English-speaking countries. And we 
couldn’t ask for better representatives. 

I urge you, as members of the Stanstead 
College community, to preach the bene- 
fits of Stanstead College to your peers. 
Get involved. After all, it’s your school.

Message from the Headmaster

bacca laureate 201 3 



Headmaster’s Award recipients Kyle Hume and 
Dian Yu 


D r. Pierre Geoffroy, Class of 
1977, was the guest speaker at 
this year’s Baccalaureate and 
Prize-Giving Service. Dr. Geoffroy 
drew on his medical background to 
talk about modifiable risk behaviours 
- in other words, keeping the body 
and mind healthy. Stanstead College 
has provided students with a good 
start in this regard, he said. The trick 
is to maintain those good habits. 

“Despite your best intentions, 
though, things go wrong,” he said. 
“And when that happens, don’t be too 
proud to ask for help. This is where 
Stanstead remains invaluable for you. 
You’ve laughed together, shared good 
times, unhappy times. But the fact is 
you are in a community and will re- 
main so.” 

Dr. Geoffroy concluded by asking 
the graduates to stand and take an 
“oath” that they would take care of 
their “temple” and that they would ask 
for help when needed. 

Dr. Geoffroy spent five years at 
Stanstead College (Class of 1977). 
He continued his education at Mari- 
anopolis College, McGill and 
the University of Toronto. He 
completed his medical training 
at McGill with a residency in 
family medicine. After com- 
pleting a master’s degree in 
Epidemiology at McGill, Dr. 
Geoffroy worked for 15 years 
in research and development 
in pharmaceutical companies 
in Japan and North America. 
Currently, Pierre is a family 
physician in Toronto. He also 
has a childhood obesity clinic 
and teaches with the Ontario 
College of Family Physicians. 
In addition to this, he is med- 
ical director at Lambda Thera- 
peutic Research Inc. where he 
conducts clinical research. He 
and his wife Catherine have 


two children, Sandrine 
and Alexandre. 

At Baccalaureate, Dr. 

Geoffroy was introduced 
by his brother Michel 
(Class of 1973). 

Forty-five Grade 1 1 stu- 
dents received their Que- 
bec Secondary School 
Diploma in addition to 39 
students receiving Grade 
12 diplomas. 

Head prefect and six- 
year “lifer” Liam Gribbon 
was this year’s recipient 
of the Pitcher Memorial 
Prize, presented to the 
student who has exerted 
the greatest influence for good. 

“Liam has had an outstanding im- 
pact on our school, and his presence 
helped to make Stanstead College a 
better place,” said Headmaster Mi- 
chael Wolfe. “Liam’s willingness to 
challenge himself in a broad array of 
activities, especially student leader- 
ship, was greatly appreciated by all. 
I hope that Liam will always think of 



Stanstead College as his second home. 
I look forward to Liam’s involve- 
ment in our school as an alumnus and 
perhaps in future governance of the 
school.” 

The Wilder Shield, presented to the 
junior student with the most positive 
influence, went to Natalia Flores Brin- 
gas of Mexico City. Active in sports, 
multiple clubs and extracurricular ac- 
tivities and a top academic student, 
Natalia was a mature, friendly and 
giving presence on campus all year 
long. 

The top Grade 12 student was Tzu- 
Ting “Tiffany” Hsu of Taipei, Taiwan 
who received the Birks Silver Med- 
al for the highest overall average in 
Grade 12; the Biology, Chemistry, 
Mathematics and Physics Prizes; the 
Spofforth Trophy for Excellence in 
Science and Mathematics; and the Ar- 
thur E. Curtis Jr. Award presented to 
the top student entering an engineer- 
ing program, in Tiffany’s case, me- 
chanical engineering at the Rochester 
Institute of Technology. Tiffany also 
won the Trueman-McFadyen Award

as the top athlete with the highest 
overall average. 

The top Grade 1 1 student was Asia 
Wisco of Peterborough, Ont., who 
earned the Governor General’s Medal 
for the highest average along with the 
English Prize, the Economics Prize, 
the French Prize (co-winner) and the 
Physics Prize. Asia also won the Thes- 
pian Shield for Acting. 


Students receiving honours for the 
highest averages in other grades were 
Genevieve Quirion of Lac-Megantic, 
Que. (Grade 10), Benjamin Clermont 
of Ogden, Que. (Grade 9), Samuel De 
Grace of Magog, Que. (Grade 8) and 
John Wood-Downey of Magog, Que. 
(Grade 7). 

Catherine Quirion of Lac-Megan- 
tic, Que. was named the senior female 


athlete of the year, winning the Shirley 
Wolter Trophy. Catherine was a three- 
sport Major S winner in 2012-13, in 
addition to winning the Girls Hockey 
MVP, Roger Marino Cup for Senior 
Girls Rugby. She also won the Com- 
parative Politics and English Prizes. 

Andrew Norris of Ogden, Que. was 
the Thomas Johnson Memorial se- 
nior male athlete of the year - another 
three-sport Major S winner in soccer, 
basketball (his first year playing!) and 
rugby. Andrew also co-won the Bobby 
Moore Trophy for Senior Boys Soc- 
cer and the Donald Ross Trophy for 
Senior Boys Rugby. Conor Rankin of 
Kanata, Ont. and Nicolas Beaudin of 
St-Bruno, Que. shared the senior ath- 
lete-scholar award. Conor also won 
the Grade 12 Psychology Prize. 

The junior female athlete of the year 
was Estefania Colas Baeza of Huix- 
quilucan, Mexico, while the junior 
male athlete of the year was Emiliano 
de la Fuentes Eslava of Mexico City.

Students earn AP accolades 


E ach year, many Grade 12 stu- 
dents write the Advanced 
Placement (AP) exams in dif- 
ferent subjects. This year, three stu- 
dents did exceptionally well. 

AP exams are scored on a 5 -point 
scale, with a 3 meaning “qualified,” 
or that the student has proven himself 
capable of doing the work of an intro- 
ductory-level course in that particular 
subject at college. A 4 is a rating of 
“well qualified” and a 5 is “extremely 
well qualified). 

In 2013, Stanstead College students 
wrote 77 AP exams in 11 subjects. Of 


these, 46 exams scored 3 or higher - 
20 with a 3; 15 exams with a 4; and 1 1 
exams with a 5. 

The College Board, which oversees 
the exams also awards AP Scholar 
Award certificates to recognize stu- 
dents who have demonstrated sig- 
nificant achievement on AP exams. 
AP Scholar certificates are granted to 
students who receive scores of 3 or 
higher on three or more exams, while 
AP Scholar with Honor certificates are 
granted to students who receive an av- 
erage score of at least 3.25 on all AP 
exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher 


on four or more of these exams. 

Among the recent graduates, Cath- 
erine Quirion of Lac-Megantic, Que. 
and Tzu-Ting “Tiffany” Hsu of Taipei, 
Taiwan were named AP Scholars with 
Honor, while Pisit Wetchayanwiwat of 
Bangkok, Tahiland was named an AP 
Scholar. 


Congratulations to all. 



Tiffany Hsu took in a Raiders hockey game to cheer on former class- 
mate Catherine Quirion. Catherine is enrolled in the pre-med program at 
Colgate University in Hamilton, NY and Tiffany is studying mechanical 
engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. 



Student travels to India for Earth Science Olympiad 


n September, Jacob Hochstrass- 
er-Borsari (pictured below centre), 
.a Grade 11 student from Holland, 
Vt., attended the 7th International 
Earth Science Olympiad in Mysore, 
India as part of Team USA. 

Jacob qualified for the event 
after attending the Governor 
Institutes of Vermont engineer- 
ing weekend, where students 
from across the state and the 
U.S. sought to create engineer- 
ing solutions to societal prob- 
lems. Jacob and his partner 
devised a deadbolt lock driven 
by a Servo motor powered by 
an Arduino programmable mi- 
crocontroller. 

In India, the students were 
evaluated for their knowledge 
of the Earth sciences, then 
broken up into international 
teams and taken into the field 
to evaluate a current issue fac- 
ing a community in India. The 
group of international students 
then conducted field research 


regarding the science involved, and 
presented their findings and recom- 
mendations to a group of local scien- 
tists and political leaders. 

During his travels to and during the 
conference, Jacob was overwhelmed 
by the poverty in the surrounding 
communities and in the countryside. 

“A citizen of a first world nation 
who complains about the small dis- 
comforts in life, I could not have felt 
more helpless and hypocritical than 
right then, seeing the people that I 
could not help but, 
through the actions of 
my nations, had time 
to hurt,” wrote Jacob 
in his account of the 
trip (available on our 
website at SC Blog). 

Jacob’s team trav- 
elled to the Talur 
mines, where the 
main mineral mined 
is magnesite, and vis- 
ited students at a lo- 
cal school. 


It was another awesome experience 
to see just how talented they were and 
that there were still some people there 
that could have hope for the future,” 
said Jacob, who came away from the 
experience with a renewed conviction 
in the power of individuals to effect 
change in the world. 

The 8th Annual IESO will be held in 
Burlington, Vermont in 2014, and Ja- 
cob plans to act as a volunteer to assist 
“the next group of passionate students 
looking to heal the planet.”

Corrections from previous issue: Regarding “ Academic Honours: More names behind the prizes ” (Spring 2013), Alan MacMillan 
(1955) points out that David Wilder (as in the Wilder Shield) was a student not in the late fifties but the early fifties, 1948 to 1951 to 
be precise. The Wilders were a successful Montreal business family. In fact, the Wilder Building on Bleury above Ste-Catherine into 
a provincially funded centre for dance companies as well as government office space In describing the Ralph V. Merry Scholar- 
ship, we described the wrong Merry. Ralph V. Merry (1809-1887) was the grandson of Ralph Merry III, who we attributed to the 
scholarship. The younger Merry was likewise a prominent Magog businessman and politician. 


What’s in a 
uniform? 

B efore you came to Stanstead, 
you probably thought, “Uni- 
forms? Yuck!” In the pre- 
Stanstead world, uniforms brought 
to mind conformity, “Another Brick 
in the Wall” by Pink Floyd. But after 
the initial shock - not to mention get- 
ting over the tie-tying learning curve 
- Stanstead students come to accept, 
even love the school uniform. In an 
entirely unscientific survey, we asked 
alumni what they thought of the uni- 
form, either as students or now as 
adults. 

“I loved not having to think about 
what I was going to wear every day.” - 
Claire Watson (1994) 

“Call me old-fashioned but there’s 
plenty of time for individuality after 
school is out.” - Joel Pearce (1974) 
“Thought it would be horrible be- 
fore but ended up loving it. I actually 
think that the stricter rules didn’t hurt 
at all!” - Gustl Eder (2001) 

“All for the uniforms, though at my 
time they could have used a little mod- 
ernizing. If nothing else, though, I still 
know how to quickly and properly tie 
a tie because of them.” - Chris Yates 
(1992) 

“I’m all for the uniform, made you 
feel a part of something special, espe- 
cially when you were off campus or 
at a sporting event. Keep the uniform 
and the respect for the great College!” 
- Doug Unsworth (1977) 

“I still have my blazer and tie hang- 
ing in my dresser. Funny thing though 
it must have shrunk over the years; 
just doesn’t fit any more.” - Gary Ba- 
kelmun (1982) 

The school uniform has evolved over 
time. Gone, for example, is the “Captain 
Kangaroo” piping on the girls’ blazers 
of the early eighties. But school dress 
is still required every day, and students

wear the formal uniforms not only on 
campus for special events but also for 
travel. Strangers notice Stanstead Col- 
lege students in their uniforms, and in- 
variably they are impressed. 

Board chairman Jonathan Cowen 
(1972) notes that the uniform puts all 
students on the same footing, no mat- 
ter what their national or economic 
background. However, the uniform 
could also be a starting point: 

“It made you work harder to stand 
out,” he said. “With hard work and 
determination you could modify your 
uniform a little. You could get a dif- 


ferent tie if you became a prefect or 
you could add a “C” or an “A” to your 
sports uniform if you earned it. There 
were always ways to distinguish your- 
self even if you all looked the same.” 
Students continue to add their sports 
or academic pins to their blazers to 
signify their contributions and suc- 
cesses. Ultimately, though, the goal 
of the uniform is to create a sense of 
self-respect in appearance, a sense of 
self-discipline in maintaining that ap- 
pearance, and a sense of pride in be- 
longing to a school community. The 
uniform gets the job done.

Sports Highlights 



S tanstead College’s senior 
soccer squads captured the ETI- 
AC championship trophies this 
fall, capping a season that saw both 
the boys and girls teams win their re- 
spective league titles as well. 

After defeating fourth-place 
BCS 4-1 in the semi-final, the 
senior boys faced off against 
Alexander Galt in the final. 
The third-place Pipers had up- 
set second-place Massey- Vani- 
er in their semi-final game but 
were outmatched in the final 
by the Spartans, who managed 
a 5-1 win on their home field. 
Four of those goals were scored 
by cannon-footed Grade 10 
student Jeremy Descheneaux, 
with the fifth by the relentless 
Tristan Ovesson. 

It was a satisfying win for the 
senior boys, as the league had 
been close for much of the sea- 
son after a sluggish start by the 
Spartans. Indeed, the ETIAC 
regular- season title was decid- 


ed in the Spartans’ favour thanks to a 
tie in the final regular-season game be- 
tween MVR and last-place Richmond 
Regional. 

On the girls’ side, Stanstead made 
it to the final by defeating a tough 
Massey- Vanier team 2-1. That score 
would repeat itself in the final against 
Alexander Galt, the only team that 
had managed to defeat the senior girls 
during the regular ETIAC season. Off 
a pass from Asia Wisco, Gemma Mac- 
Donald scored the first goal for the 
Spartans in the first half. A Stanstead 
handball set up a Galt penalty kick 
early on, but a diving save by rookie 
keeper Samantha Rhainds thwarted 
the Pipers’ hopes. However, late in the 
second half, a looper over the keepers’ 
head tied it up for Galt. 

In the dying minutes of the game, a 
comer kick from Asia Wisco caromed 
off a Galt defender into her own net, 
giving Stanstead a 2-1 lead and even- 
tual win. 

It was a great end to the season, 
which included a third-place finish 


at the national CAIS Tournament in 
Pointe-Claire, Que., the girls losing 
in the semi to eventual tournament 
champions Holy Trinity School. 

This is the second time in three years 
and only the second time in school 
history that both the senior boys and 
girls teams have brought home both 
the ETIAC regular season titles and 
playoff championships. 

In junior soccer, the boys had an 
overall record of 3-7-2 and finished 
in third place in the league, while the 
girls went 4-3-2, finishing second in 
the league. At the bantam level, the 
girls finished in a respectable second 
place with a regular-season record of 
4-4-1, while the boys had a tougher 

time, ending 2-5-3 in fifth place. 

❖ 

I n football, the Spartans joined the 
Independent Football League of 
New England this year. The team 
was helmed by quarterback Drew 
Packman, who was very proficient at 
throwing the football, escaping the

ship on and off the field. The Spartans 
were always a threat when using their 
spread offence, which included the 
sure hands of Roydell Clarke, Josh 
Stacey and Christopher Smith. While 
these players excelled when playing in 
the skilled positions, the hard and dirty 
work done by linemen such as Grant 
Baird, Jacob Hochstrasser and Gren- 
ville Lines cannot be ignored. The 
team traveled to locations throughout 
southern New Hampshire, playing a 
number of formidable opponents. At 
season’s end, the Stanstead College 
football squad had recorded a record 
of four wins and two losses. 

“The coaching staff is very proud of 
these young men, who managed to 
play some great football while tak- 
ing to the field with a relatively small 
number of players every week,” said 



in preparation for next sea- 
son.”

Olympian Sarah Vaillancourt joins Athletics staff 

A ® .. r - I v I 

A 


mong the new faces on staff 
this fall is one that might be 
^familiar to Canadians across 
the country. Two-time Olympic gold 
medalist Sarah Vaillancourt joined the 
school’s athletic department this past 
summer. 

A native of nearby Sherbrooke, Que. 
Vaillancourt is the new assistant coach 
of the Girls Hockey Spartans and 
spent the fall athletic season running 
intensive speed-and-strength training 
sessions with the various sports teams. 
In addition, she is providing academic 


support in the 
Learning Re- 
source Centre 
and perform- 
ing residential 
duties. 

Vaillancourt 
was a long- 
time member 
of the Cana- 
dian women’s 
national team, 
with whom she won gold medals at 
the 2006 Olympics in Torino and 2010 
Olympics in Vancouver. A graduate of 
psychology at Harvard University, she 
was named the Ivy League Player of 
the Year in 2008 and ECAC Hockey 
Player of the Year in 2009. In 2011, 
she was named MVP at the Clarkson 
Cup as a member of the Montreal 
Stars. She retired from the national 
team this past April. 

“One of the goals when I was fin- 
ished with hockey was to go back to 
the U.S. and coach,” said Vaillancourt. 
“But this summer, I decided to build a 
house in Sherbrooke, so that kind of 
put that out of the question. Then I got 


an offer to work 
for Stanstead, so 
it was a perfect 
timing and a per- 
fect fit for me.” 
“Perfect” be- 
cause Vaillan- 
court spent her 
last two years of 
high school at 
Pomfret School 
in Connecticut 
where she improved her English and 
her hockey skills. 

“I knew nothing about prep school 
when I went there but it was one of the 
best experiences of my life, so it’s fun 
now to be on the other side,” she said. 

In fact, Vaillancourt received an 
offer to coach the boys team back at 
Pomfret around the same time she was 
considering the Stanstead offer but felt 
she wasn’t quite ready. As it turns out, 
she has been enjoying the training she 
has been doing here and is thinking of 
continuing her studies to specialize in 
the field. 

“I’m really quite content at 
Stanstead,” she said.

How many Patrick brothers attended SC? 


By Ross Murray 

I t’s tricky to prove a negative, 
to say definitely that something 
didn’t happen, especially when 
legend says it did. 

At Stanstead College, legend has it 
that hockey’s famous Patrick brothers 
- Lester and younger brother Frank - 
both attended the school at the turn of 
the last century. 

Consider the evidence 
for: 

There was the Pat- 
rick Trophy for House 
League Hockey, first 
presented in 1933. Ac- 
cording to the College 
Annual of that year, 

“The donors were none 
other than the reputed 
Frank and Lester Patrick 
who at one time were 
students at S.W. C.” 

From The Stanstead 
Journal of February 9, 

1933: “When Mr. Am- 
aron showed the New 
Cup, present- 
ed by Mr. Les- 
ter Patrick for 
the house league hockey, to 
“Swede” Farley, he said that 
no one would get it but him- 
self and that no one else had a 
chance.” 

There is this article printed in 
The Stanstead Journal in 1 973, 
entitled “The origin of Hock- 
ey in this community” by Jo- 
seph Maheux, who wrote, “In 
the early 1900s, an event took 
place which helped the local 
young men decide to do some- 
thing about forming a team to 
play this new game. This was 
the coming to Stanstead Col- 
lege of two men who in later 
years would become famous as 


National League figures: they were the 
Patrick brothers, Frank and Lester.” 

The 1943 yearbook reports on the 
Alumni Banquet of May 29, 1943 
with guest speaker Mr. Frank Patrick, 
who “recalled his own days at the Col- 
lege, with a brother and two sisters in 
Dr. Flanders’ time [1893-1908].” 

The obituary for Mrs. Pearl Hunt 
(1885-1980) states that she attended 
Stanstead College 
where, “she played 
hockey on a team 
with Frank and Les- 
ter Patrick.” 

Legends can grow, 
however, on wishful 
thinking, assump- 
tions and mistaken 
identity, and there 
are plenty of reasons 
to wish to be asso- 
ciated with the Pat- 
rick brothers. Born 
in Drummondville, 
Quebec (Lester, De- 
cember 31, 1883; 

Frank, December 21, 
1885), the two grew 
up to be pioneers of 
the National Hock- 
ey League. Lester was a member of 
the Stanley Cup champion Montreal 
Wanderers of 1906, founded the Pa- 
cific Coast Hockey Association with 
brother Frank and coached the New 
York Rangers. Frank was no slouch 
himself: a player, a Stanley Cup win- 
ner with the Vancouver Millionaires 
in 1915, and head coach of the Boston 
Bruins. 

Frank Patrick also instituted the blue 
line, the penalty shot and the boarding 
penalty. 

Both brothers are members of the 
Hockey Hall of Fame with Eastern 
Townships roots. 

We know for sure that Frank Patrick 
attended Stanstead College for one 


year. But there is no solid evidence 
that Lester Patrick ever attended 
Stanstead College as a student. 

Frank’s year at Stanstead 

F rank Patrick enrolled at 
Stanstead in the fall of 1904 
after graduating from the High 
School of Montreal the previous 
spring. (Stanstead was associated with 
McGill University at the time and of- 
fered some first-year credits.) 

“Although I spent only one year at 
Stanstead... the days were some of 
the happiest in my life,” Frank wrote 
in a Boston Globe piece in 1933. “I 
met many splendid people whose ac- 
quaintance I have kept through many 
years.” 

The “College Column” in a No- 
vember 1904 issue of The Stanstead 
Journal reports that Franklin Patrick 
“made a capital speech” in a debate 
in favour of the Liberals returning to 
power because of “1) its Railway Pol- 
icy, 2) its 
Immigra- 
tion Pol- 
icy, 3) its 
purity of 
adminis- 
tration.” 

By then, 

Frank had 
already 
made his 
name as 
an athlete, 
serving 
as half- 
back and 
captain of 
the foot- 
ball team, ^ T,v " — 

leading the home squad to an unde- 
feated 6-0 record. The final game of 
the year was an exhibition contest 
during Thanksgiving against a Mon- 
treal team that included another future

NHL pioneer, Art Ross, and Frank’s 
older brother Lester. And the visiting 
team was big! 

“What’s the idea, do 
you want to murder us?” 

Frank recalled asking his 
old friend Art, as recount- 
ed in the Globe article. 

Don’t worry, Art said. 

They would take it easy 
on the little Stanstead 
team if Frank could ar- 
range to get them into the 
Chicken Pie Social to be 
held that evening - with 
the lady students present. 

“So we had the football 
game, Lester refereed, 
and I guess the ‘varsity’ 
did take it easy, because the contest 
ended in a 7-7 tie,” Frank recalled. 

The evidence against 

S o Lester Patrick did visit 
Stanstead College at least one 
time and perhaps other times as 
well that school year - maybe even 
playing pick-up hockey with the fu- 
ture Mrs. Hunt. But there is no con- 
crete evidence that he ever studied at 
Stanstead, and the evidence against 
such a possibility is strong: 

Lester enrolled at McGill University 
in 1900, so he would have had to have 
been at Stanstead prior. However, a 
photo posted on the website Hockey 
Gods (hockeygods.com) shows Les- 
ter posing with the 1899-1900 senior 
championship hockey team from 
the High School of Montreal. The 
chronology precludes a “post-grad” 
year at Stanstead. 

Eric Whitehead in his book The 
Patricks: Hockey s Royal Family 
(Doubleday Canada 1980) refers to 
Frank attending Stanstead College but 
makes no mention of Lester doing so. 
He mentions that Lester, at age 10, en- 
rolled at Loren Public School in Point 


St-Charles, moving to Westmount in 
1895. Lester’s reminiscences of the 
intervening years before 1900, col- 
lected in the book, are all 
of Montreal. 

The alumni notes in 
the College magazines 
of 1909 and 1910 men- 
tion Frank Patrick living 
in BC. The issue of Feb- 
ruary 1910, in fact says, 
“Some of our old hockey 
players are prominent this 
season. Frank Patrick, 
as everybody knows, 
is playing for Renfrew. 
‘Pete’ Pay an, Harold and 
Lee Hyndman are with 
Sherbrooke.” There is no 
mention of Lester, who was also play- 
ing for Renfrew in 1910. 

We have found no mentions (to date) 
of Lester in The Stanstead Journal or 
on any College artifacts from that era. 

Eastern Townships champs 

Perhaps it was confusion over the 
brothers’ names that resulted in the 
conviction that they both attended 
Stanstead. Frank definitely did and 
certainly helped stir up excitement for 
hockey in the border region. Just read 
this account from The Journal of the 
final game against Lennoxville for the 
Eastern Townships Hockey League 
championship in March 1905: 

“Patrick made several brilliant rush- 
es during the game, taking the puck 
from the vicinity of the College goal, 
outskating the Lennoxville forward 
line, jumping their defence and then 
gently tossing it into the net. The strat- 
egy of the wary rover was too much 
for the opponents. In a melee he could 
invariably be seen lying in wait out- 
side the struggling mass and if any- 
thing came his way it would be sure to 
meet with the reception it deserved.” 
The College won that game 9-4. 


As for why the House 
League Hockey Cup (now 
missing) would be attributed 
to both brothers, it may have 
been as a courtesy and trib- 
ute to two boys with roots in 
the region who had changed 
the face of sport in Canada. 

Yet only one, Frank Pat- 
rick, a hockey pioneer, 
has his name permanently 
etched on that champion- 
ship cup of 1905, the third 
of three in a row that the 
College won, along with 
Harkness, Flanders, Hebert, 

Price, Hyndman and Payan. 

We are proud to call Frank 
Patrick an early legend of 
Stanstead College hockey.

DID YOU KNOW 


A quick look at giving big 


I t’s a snapshot world. Information comes at us in flashes and bursts. That’s why we wanted to give you a quick glimpse 
- an Instaglimpse, if you will - of this year’s Stanstead College Annual Fund. 

The Annual Fund provides much-needed support for students in the form of scholarships and bursaries. Did you 
know that Stanstead College now provides approximately $1 million in financial aid every year? This assists students 
who might otherwise not be able to attend the school and benefit from the rigorous, structured education that quite simply 
opens life’s doors. 

The Annual Fund also helps provide improvements to programming, upgrades to facilities, sports uniforms and equip- 
ment, new musical instruments, and on and on. 

To give you an idea of some of those needs, we’ve included on these pages some Instagive shots of initiatives the 
school is hoping to fund. You can direct your support to any of these projects or the “greatest need” by filling out the 
enclosed donation form or by donating online at www.stansteadcollege.com. You can also contact us at (819) 876-7891, 
ext. 225 or karen.cushing@stansteadcollege.com. 

And finally, THANK 
YOU to everyone listed on 
these pages who helped fill 
last year’s needs, donating an 
impressive $260,000 to the 
2012-13 Stanstead College 
Annual Fund. More alumni 
than ever contributed to last 
year’s campaign, which is 
a great show of support for 
your school and for current 
and future students. We hope 
this commitment to Stanstead 
College and its mission will 
continue this year and for 
many years to come. 

So, to make it 
short and sweet: 

Please give! 

And thank you so 
very much!

Joseph Levy: A question of paying back 



D on’t talk to Joseph 
Levy about how 
much time he’s 
given to Stanstead College. 

“It’s not about how much 
time I’ve given to the 
school,” says Levy, Class 
of 1969. “It’s about me 
paying back. If it wasn’t 
for Stanstead College, I 
wouldn’t be doing what I’m 
doing now.” 

That’s a fairly big state- 
ment from a man who owns his own 
specialty advertising company, Mon- 
treal’s Mediavation, a company that 
has worked with clients ranging from 
Formula 1 Racing to Coca-Cola and is 
recognized as one of the top 100 agen- 
cies in the country. But Levy is ada- 
mant that Stanstead College changed 
his life. 

“I was in Grade 8 in Montreal, and I 
was flunking. The police were bringing 
me home at night. I went to Stanstead 
because my brother Victor wanted to 
go, so I went too,” he recalls. “My first 
year, I was ‘What am I doing here?’ 
The second year, I knew what to ex- 
pect. By the third year, I was there be- 
fore the school even opened.” 

As is often the case, Levy attributes 
his success at Stanstead to teachers, 


teachers who wouldn’t accept students 
not doing well, teachers like Mrs. Mc- 
Clary for Math, Mr. McConnachie, 
Mr. Williams the house master. Plus, 
while he was at Stanstead, Joseph 
began dating his future wife, Susan 
Caulfield, who was a student down at 
Sacred Heart in Newport, Vt. They’ve 
been married for 39 years. 

“School engaged me and challenged 
me,” he says. “I’ve often said that at 
Stanstead, we don’t make lawyers, 
doctors and accountants. Stanstead 
College puts out entrepreneurs. The 
school is about surviving and leader- 
ship. It’s about teaching you self-es- 
teem - winning at football, succeeding 
at math. Whatever time I’ve put in to 
help the school, I will never be able to 
make up what it’s done for me.” 

Levy has certainly tried over the 


years. Beginning as a 
member of the Montre- 
al Alumni Association, 

Levy joined the Board 
of Directors in 1995. In 
addition to chairing sev- 
eral committees, Joseph 
was the chairman of the 
Board of Directors from 
2002 to 2006 and served 
as president of the Coun- 
cil of Trustees from 2004 
until 2012. He remains a 
trustee of the school and is a 
director of the Red & White 
Educational Foundation, the 
school’s fundraising entity. 

Among these fundraising 
initiatives was the campaign 
to build the Pat Burns Are- 
na in partnership with the Town of 
Stanstead, a campaign in which Joseph 
played a key role and is especially 
proud. For his work in this campaign 
and in recognition of his many years 
of contribution to the school, Joseph 
was awarded the Stanstead College 
Trustees’ Award of Merit in 2013. He 
and arena campaign chair Chris Wood 
were also recently presented with 
paintings to thank them for their work 
on making the Pat Bums Arena cam- 
paign a success. 

Levy is proud of the work 
he has done for Stanstead 
College, including oversee- 
ing changes to governance 
and the hiring of two head- 
masters, including current 
headmaster Michael Wolfe, 
and encouraging the current 
board chairman, Jonathan 
Cowen, to join the board in 
the first place. 

“I’m proud of everybody 
working for and with the 
school, and I feel it’s in good 
hands. I’m looking forward 
to staying involved.”

Stanstea d College takes solar step to 





T he sun that poured down on 
Homecoming 2013 is also now 
powering the Eric T. Webster 
Student Centre. The most recent 
achievement of the Stanstead College 
Environmental Committee, a new 5 
kW roof-mounted solar panel array, 
was installed on the Student Centre 
in August and was officially unveiled 
on the afternoon of Homecoming by 
committee chairman VJ Bala (Class of 
1994). 

The 5kW Solar System can generate 
10,000 kWh per year, enough electric- 
ity to power up to 50% of the needs 
of the Student Centre. Students will 
monitor and record the system’s per- 
formance on the school website and 
report its output to faculty and stu- 
dents at assembly. The school’s Art 
Department will work with students 
to visually depict the panels’ positive 
environmental impact, through pieces 
on display in the Student Centre and 
around campus. 


VJ met with a number of College 
prefects on the Friday before Home- 
coming to discuss these and other en- 
vironmental initiatives. 

“I was curious to see how the stu- 
dents would respond,” said VJ. “It 
turned out to be such a pleasure to 
have that dialogue. There were ideas 
that came out of it that the committee 
hadn’t even thought of, things like 
starting a Facebook page for these 
types of environmental initiatives. 

It shows that the College cares 
about the future.” 

In 2007 Stanstead College an- 
nounced a Declaration of Environ- 
mental Principles. It resulted in 
the creation of an Environmental 
Committee that in turn developed 
a Green Manifesto which targets 
that, “Stanstead College in its func- 
tioning will, at a minimum, have 
no net impact on the earth or any of 
the future generations of the earth.” 


initiatives towards 
this end, including a 
new heating system 
with a compact gas 
condensing boiler 
capable of achieving 
ultra-high efficiency 
J levels of 96%, zoned 
heating, and an elec- 
tric-powered ice resurfacer 
for the Pat Burns Arena. The 
Environmental Committee, 
however, wanted to further 
raise the visibility of its ef- 
forts and pursue a project 
that could be integrated into the edu- 
cational curriculum. It explored sev- 
eral projects before deciding on “go- 
ing solar.” 


Other changes on campus 

• Bugbee House heating and hot 
water system now independent 
of the main boiler 

• Windows in Davis annex re- 
placed 

• Stripping and painting of front of 
Alumni House (Butters) as well 
as repairs to front porch 

• Renovations coming soon to 
washrooms in LeBaron, Davis 
first floor and main floor of Col- 
by 

• New computers equipped with 
webcams in Colby lab and TOD 
offices 

• Overhaul of campus wireless 
network, with increase in access 
points from 25 to 100 and stron- 
ger security

found having lunch with her grandson, 
Graham, when they were both attend-
